This is a creative essay-format, your grade will mainly depend on the informed way in which you develop your own argument and the precision and logic with which you explain the different viewpoints. You will only have to write one essay, but it should be an argumentative paper. I will examine and assess the originality of your argument. For you to make an original argument you will have to put 3 concepts (listed below) in a relationship. Remember to our class discussion about how to make connections between sources, arguments and concepts. In this final assignment we will practice how to make those connections more precisely and hopefully, more convincingly.
